NASSAU, OCT. 1 Wednesday was ex perienced here a very severe gale of ac companied with incessant rain, which has done considerable damage to. the shipping in .the bar hour, but providentially much less than its vio lence at one time threatened. It began in the morning from the North-East, bur did not blow so as to excite much •apprehension until about mid-day, when the wind began to veer gradually round, increasing as it went, to the North-West, from which part it raged with its= greatest force from 3 p;m. to 5. 'At sun-set it began to abate, the sky, at the time, however, assuming an alarm ing - appearance, forming an entire canopy of a pale flame colour, while the scud flew in various directions as it' portending a shift-of wind, and -a repetition of the - storm. By 8 o'clock, however, apprehension had subsided. • The gale having for tunately been of short duration,..-the, damage on land has not been very considerable. Our ma rine list gives a report . of'the injury sustained by the shipping. This visitationisevere and unexpect ed as it was, will, we hope, be wsufficient excuse to our Subscribers for the non-issue of The Ga zette on Wednesday, the drift of rain into the Office having occasioned much disorder and con fusion: - • OBITUARY -It is with much regret we. state the melancholy fate ot.Jobo M`Donald, Esq. late' of Long island, where lie had resided for the last twenty years, esteemed and respected by all.— We are'ititormed-that be sailed from Rum Key on the sth inst. in the schooner Sarah Ann, John Nonage, master, for this place—on the following iii4ht the vessel sprung a leak, which obliged them to run through Conch Cut ; she afterwards grounded on a bank, from whence the boat was sent to the shore with a chest containing a sum of money. Soon after the departure of the boat, the schooner floated off, and atter going some dis tance, carne to • anchor. The weather being stormy, andllie schooner deeply laden with salt, she foundered, and went to the bottom in tour fathom,, her toasts bring about one-third out at the water. Thme on board bad now no means of saving their lives hilt by clinging to the masts. Mr. M'Donald being quite.exhausted, called tor as,istance, but getting none; he was washed off, and sunk to rise no more ! The others continued holding on until morning, when they were taken off by Lord Rolle's plsolation-boat,- the Devon• shire, on her - way front Exuma. Three men who "cut on shore in the boat, now came off, anti were also aken into the Devonshire. Dieu,—On Saturday evening; Mater Jor.es, son of Captain Jones, of the brig Rolla, of this port. On Wednesday, Caroline Angnsta, infant daughter of Mr. George Demerit, jun. and John, infant son of Mr. Poet Mott. On Thursday evening, At,ueda Robert Thomas, ion of Mr. Annuitl see that any thing would divert me from its point; but the ifielll vations of ignoriince and arrogance have led me to chastise one and pity the other: I expected the attacks of both, and am not dis appointed, but my rejoicing is this, the testimony of my conscience, and the goodness of my cause, which is likely to produce the haPpy effect of smoothing certain parts of the Old Testament, and making manifest its occult passages to the multitude, whose faith is not discovet their works, and having little or none, they ha% e little or none to unhinge. In approving Mr. BELLAmY's book I sbew my admiration of the Scriptures, which, being the first in the wo►ld, stands the first in my law nod mis cellaneous library, and I think none relating to it ought to be frost-bitten, or nipt in its bud. The violence and irritation of spirit towards this Gen tletuan is evidence of its value, and,, like gold, it will grow purer the more it is drawn through the fire. He has said enough for we, and I wish it well. • Permit me, Sir, to assure yon, that though we do not agree in the whole of your pleasing letter, Which has lit►le to do with the 01.1 Tc.st.linent. such 'parts as regard me, and are m;staken, shall be explained in a •continuatic►u hereof, so as to solve your doubts and inferences on what I have written.
